Because it’s never too early.
The freshman playlist for the 2018-2019 NCAA season has been added to the essential links section in the menu at the top. Or, you can just look at it here:
2018-2019 FRESHMAN PLAYLIST
It contains links to the latest routine videos that exist for next season’s incoming NCAA freshmen (at DI, full-scholarship schools) so that they’re all in one place for when you need to start preparing likely lineups and doing your freshman research. As you do.
Whenever possible, I try to use YouTube videos (as uploaded by USAG, R5 Insider, or the gymnasts/parents) so that everyone can watch, but when necessary, the links will lead to Flo Pro videos because that’s where the videos are.
As the summer progresses, I’ll continue adding (or subtracting as necessary) walk-ons as we begin to learn who is actually joining these teams beyond the scholarship signers.
For your lineup-panic reference, here are the final 2018 lineups for some key teams, noting which routines are coming back and which are not.

Glad to think about something fun and positive in the midst of the s***storm that is USAG. But wasn’t t this Milliet’s last season?
No, she redshirted 2017, so she’ll be back for a 5th year
Adnerys DeJesus is now walking on at Nebraska instead of Maryland. Rebecca D’Antonio is walking on at LSU. Carley Bayles is walking on at Utah State
Wow, Maryland loses another one. WTF is going on over there?
I wonder what LSU is going to do with beam… Ferrer, though promising, seems to be hardly Macadaeg/Hambrick material.
Do you think Lizzy Leduc will transfer there? I heard rumors a few months ago, but there doesn’t seem to be any recent news.
Right!? I’m a bit shocked LSU has only one incoming frosh. What’s going on with their recruiting game? It seems like between Clark’s eye for talent and the charm of the program, they should have more than one recruit?
Critical for LSU’s success will be healthy Priesmann and Kelly, and Harrold figuring out collegiate and bringing her best every week. Maybe all of the one event’ers could become two. It looks like they will be scrounging for those 9.9+ scores.
I wonder if anyone from UCLA will get to do the AA in postseason next year. They should be able to come up with 6 FX stronger than Ross and 6 VT stronger than Kocian (unless she upgrades).
My hope is that Kyla continues to get even better on floor. She improved so much between last year and this year and even throughout this season. I hope that improvement continues and that she’s in the floor line up though there are so many amazing people on the team especially if Macy Toronjo comes back at full strength. I think UCLA should just do 5 floor exhibitions every meet because their floors are so fun to watch and they have the depth to have that many amazing floor routines.
I forgot about Toronjo. I’ve pretty much given up on seeing her compete. But I wish she’d be able to do floor and beam.
Seeing as the goal is to post the highest score and to win a National Championship, I sure hope not.
I love Kyla. She is the mental rock that this team will greatly need with Peng moving on. But with no floor spots vacating from last year, Wright and Frazier coming on board, and Toronjo potentially coming back, Kyla is perhaps the 9th best floor option on this team.
Oklahoma will be bitter. Florida will be a beast. To repeat UCLA will need every thousandth of a point it can scratch out and the best opportunity to do so comes with Kyla out of the floor lineup, IMO.
Norah Flatley can hopefully slide into Peng’s role and fill bars and beam.
Sekai and Marz potentially on vault with 10.0 start values, Marz and Norah fill in on bars, Norah on Beam and floor is just going to be crazy but hoping to see Kocian, Marz, Ohashi, Tratz, Hano and Kramer in post season. The depth is crazy for this UCLA team
Kyla also has an upgraded vault (though she said that since her freshman year), and it was in around the gymternet.
She does have a Omelianchik that we saw at woodward and recently we saw a Y1.5 on snapchat I think but I still have doubts as maybe she is not confident or the coaches are not confident in letting her compete the 10;.0 start value vaults
Hannah Morrow is no longer going to Maryland, I believe she is now Iowa State. Sophia Restanio is also not going to Maryland, she is now going to U Penn.
